Figure legends
Figure 1. Preoperative macroscopic findings of Case 1 (left ankle).
Anteroposterior view in neutral position (A). Passive varus instability
is moderately observed (B), but no passive valgus deformity is observed
(C).
Figure 2. Preoperative radiographs of Case 1 (left ankle).
Anteroposterior (A) and lateral (B) views when standing. The joint space
of the talocrural joint is irregular. Narrowing of the joint space is
detected in the talofibular joint (A). Larsen Grade IV is determined in
the talocrural joint and Grade III in the subtalar joint.
Figure 3. Postoperative radiographs of Case 1 (left ankle) just after
surgery (A, B) and at 6 months after surgery (C, D).
Figure 4. Preoperative macroscopic findings of Case 2 (left ankle).
Anteroposterior (A) and posteroanterior (B) views. Hallux valgus
deformity and a remarkable calcaneovalgus deformity are observed.
Figure 5. Preoperative radiographs of Case 2 (left ankle).
Anteroposterior (A) and lateral (B) views when standing. The joint space
of the talocrural joint is irregular. Larsen Grade IV is determined in
both the talocrural and subtalar joints.
Figure 6. Postoperative radiographs of Case 2 (left ankle) just after
surgery (A, B), at 4 months after surgery (C, D), and at 12 months after
surgery (E, F). Osseous fusion is achieved.
Figure 7. One year postoperative macroscopic findings of Case 2 (left
ankle). Anteroposterior (A), posteroanterior (B), and lateral (C) views
on weight-bearing position. Tibiotalar alignment is corrected.
